"Teams jump from an aircraft and parachute to the ground where they attempt to control the 'drop zone'. First team that captures the drop zone wins. The time doesn't have to be continuous. If no team wins in the time limit, sudden death will be triggered. Two, Three or Four teams can compete."

With four teams and up to 16 players zeroed in on the target area, this mode is fast, chaotic and prone to huge swings in fortune. First team to hold the drop zone for a total of two non-continuous minutes wins.

"Adrenaline junkies will enjoy one of our faster paced Adversary Modes, Drop Zone. Barrel through the air at top speed with your team towards the demarcated area and lock it down for as long as you can."

— Description

While holding down the fort, keep on the move as a strategically placed Sniper bullet to the head could be just around the corner.

Although the players' bar increases quicker if they have more team members inside the smoke, there are plenty of tactical opportunities to be had by staying just out of sight with a long-range weapon so players can better provide cover fire and draw away the enemy from the team.

To the point above, this also enables the player to cover for fallen comrades and make a dash for the smoke to keep the bar filling whilst waiting for their return to the battlefield.

The player will be taking a lot of hits when he is out in the open, so make strategic runs to pick up health and armor in between attacks.

Players within the zone can also stave off incoming enemies by shooting their Parachutes and thus turning them around or pushing them away from their intended target.

For those unlucky enough to have their chute gunned down, quickly detach and open the reserve to save time trying to run back to the area.
